Busy during October but still enough seating to enjoy. The views are always beautiful. Lots of shading.
I was torn between getting a coffee flight (what every table seemed to be ordering), or a single drink in a flavor I haven't had before like the apple tea or apple cold brew. I went with the apple cold brew instead, and didn't regret it! I skipped the flights because the flavors seemed pretty basic. The apple cold brew was one of the smoothest cold brews I've had, with the option to add your own pump of creamer, located on the table across from the register. The subtle hint of apple is really unique. If you love cold brews I'd definitely recommend this drink. My friends got apple cider flights, which I had a taste of. They were tasty, but way too sweet. Of all the flavors I liked the caramel one the most, and even though the cups are pretty small it was hard to finish because of how sweet it was! We walked around the gift store after, which was so cute and welcoming. It felt like I was inside of a gingerbread house. Full of unique jams/butters/syrups/candy/fudges/candles/stickers/soaps/souvenirs...your typical cute gift shop that's lots of fun to look around! Recommended, although I wish they had more unique flavors for their coffee flights!
We drove from Marin country to visit Apple Hill Farm and Grandpa's Cellar was our first stop! We arrived around 3 pm and we had an hour to enjoy it. Grandpa's Cellar was busy!!! Line was out the door to order, however since the menu is simple, it went by pretty fast. Kids were running around, adults and kids enjoying the experience, it was all great. The ambience is amazing. You are in the woods and it smells amazing like nature. You are surrounded by colorful trees because of season change and the weather is crispy since it's getting colder outside. I honestly enjoyed it. The food at Grandpa's Cellar was definitely fun and delicious. We got 3 apple pies and 2 hot apple cider flight and 1 Grandpa's original coffee flight. We all sort of shared what we had if someone wanted to try coffee and/or cider. Yum! I would note that coffee is not warm. All coffee is iced. I didn't mind it in the cold even but if you want something delicious and warm during this cool weather, I would recommend cider! But either way honestly because they all taste delicious. Definitely coming back!!!
Grandpa's Cellar is a small, but fun apple farm located in Apple Hill. I was intrigued to try this place by their picturesque flight drinks, which included coffee flight, apple cider flight, and hot chocolate flight. The October 2024 coffee flight offered white mocha, ube, cinnamon, and vanilla black cold brew. The "Hocus Pocus" hot chocolate flight ($15) offered pumpkin, caramel, classic chocolate, and ube. The "Grandpa's Classic" (apple) flight contained s'mores, caramel, mocha, and black apple pie spice. We ordered the "Hocus Pocus" hot chocolate flight and an apple turnover. The caramel chocolate was really sweet, but they were all pretty good. The hot chocolates were water based, not milk based. Each mini flight cup was topped with whipped cream, drizzle, and topped with a quote from "Hocus Pocus." The apple turnover ($5.50) was warm, crispy, flaky, and really good! We went on a weekend in October and the lines were extremely long and there were no parking spaces. The place was crowded and it was hard to get an open table. Grandpa's Cellar had some nice picturesque spots for fall photos. Although it's not as busy as some of the other apple farms, we had a nice time and enjoyed our flight, food, and photos.
Came here with the fam after seeing so many TikToks about it. And every TikTok was correct! This was amazing! The pricing was not expensive which was surprising and the baked goods were so delicious. You can even take pies and cinnamon rolls home to back on your own. The hot chocolate flights were yummy and was everything we asked for. The only downside would be how busy it is. Finding parking wasn't too bad (we got the last spot at the end) but others after us had to find parking else where. Across the street was closed for a private event so folks needed to find parking.
Don't skip out on visiting this place when you find yourself in apple hill. I got the hot chocolate flight and apple crisp. I was on a happy sugar high after that. Tips: get here at least 15-20 min before it opens. The lines get very long. Lot of cute seating surrounding this place. Perfect place to visit in the fall.
Hot Chocolate Flight [Apple Hill|Camino CA] My family and I drove up to Apple Hill this past weekend. Grandpa's Cellar is a seasonal business open only from Labor Day Weekend to December. On weekends they opened at 9:00a. We arrived at 8:30a and whoa, wow, a line has already formed outside... the small front parking lot has filled up quickly so we had to drive towards the back lot for more parking. They specialize in coffee flight tasting (I'm not a coffee drinker) but I was ecstatic when they started offering hot chocolate flights too! The line went fairly quick and at 9:15a we were enjoying our yummy treats: * Halloween Coffee Flight - Ube, Pumpkin White Mocha, Cinnamon Dulce, Vanilla Black Cold Brew (Black Widow) * Grandpa's Classic Coffee Flight - S'more, Caramel, Mocha, Black Apple Pie Spice Cold Brew * Hocus Pocus Hot Chocolate Flight - Pumpkin, Caramel, Classic and Ube * Cookie Monster - cookie dough, Oreo crumble, with blue marshmallow sauce * Traditional apple pie When visiting Apple Hill don't miss this farm with a bakery, gift shop, and a Flight Shack for coffee lovers (hot chocolate for me). We enjoyed our treats under their 100 year old apple trees! Instagram: @grandpascellar Review #3559
Your visit to Apple Hill would be incomplete without visiting Grandpa's Cellar! Pro tip: eat breakfast before and plan your fall trip on a weekday to avoid the long lines. My partner and I visited on Monday afternoon, and there was no wait! It's quite peaceful when it's not packed, and we enjoyed hanging out at the picnic tables among the apple trees. We ordered the Grandpa's Classic and Fall Flight, and we'd definitely recommend the Fall Flight. The flavor profile felt more distinct, but you can't go wrong either way!
